The BCNA has met with and briefed the known candidates for Albert Park on issues important for this community. They are The Hon. Martin Foley, MP (ALP), Andrew Bond (Liberal) and Ogy Simic (Greens). Other candidates will be contacted once they are known.
Our requests are for a long-term air quality monitoring program at Station Pier; the introduction of low sulphur marine fuel for ships using Station Pier; and the need for the Victorian Government to reinvest in the Waterfront Place precinct. We provided the attached statements to explain our requests on air quality, low sulphur marine fuel and reinvestment in the Waterfront Place precinct.
We encourage members to contact the candidates to support the BCNA position. We will report on each candidate’s commitments on our issues up until the election. The BCNA will also use media opportunities to explain our position.
